Dr. Shires. No; I don't believe he did.
Mr. Specter. How about feeling anything in his thigh?
Dr. Shires. I don't believe he ever commented on that to me.
Mr. Specter. Did he say anything else to you at that time about his recollections on the day of the assassination?
Dr. Shires. No; other than this striking feeling he had after he was hit, that someone was trying to kill all of them—apparently he remembers that quite clearly, right after he was hit, but that's all.
Mr. Specter. Did you discuss his recollection of the events of the assassination day with Governor Connally on any other occasion?
Dr. Shires. Oh, yes; sporadically, during his convalescence.
Mr. Specter. What else did he say to you at any other time?
Dr. Shires. He was just simply asking questions about things that happened to him in the Emergency Room, in the Operating Room, and he was a little surprised that he didn't recall them better, but this was after he was wounded in here, but that was really the main thing—he was surprised that he didn't remember some of the things—like the cutdowns for blood and that sort of thing that were done to him, and, of course, this is obviously because he was so anoxic at the time.
Mr. Specter. Did he ever describe anything in more detail in his recollection of the things on the day of the assassination?
